    I mainly use Susan Bates hooks. I have the crochet dude ergo handle also. I pushed some paper towel down in the hole. It helps raise the hook and add that little extra length. It takes a little getting used to but it really does relieve stress on your hand and wrist.

    I bought some foam and wire hair curler things from the dollar store (6 per pack for $1) and wrapped them around the crochet hook. I have also used hot glue to make a custom handle for a small hook I use for thread crochet. While it's still warm and soft you can form it to fit your fingers.

    Hi, I wanted to clarify something about the wood egg thing. Crochet hooks are made of two different types of metal that define their size. Aluminum hooks are the bigger colorful ones. Steel hooks are the silver itty bitty ones. If you notice on the wood egg thing it states for "steel crochet hooks". The may make another size wood egg for the bigger Aluminum ones. I hope this helps.

    It is hard for me to hold my hook without a death grip due to Parkinson' disease. I have about 5 of the Boye green/blue hook holders, and I LOVE them! I keep all of my projects with the holders already loaded with the hook, and I slip a "hook marker" (like a stitch marker but with the hook letter attached - I make them myself) on the project so I know what size it should be in case they get separated.

    Great reviews. I've been trying to find stuff like this for a couple weeks now. I tried some furls, but they kept breaking on me, because I use hooks that are 4.5mm and smaller, all the way down to .4mm yup. I am working my way down to crochet items for doll houses, so you can imagine how painful that can get. Those tiny metal hooks are not only difficult to hold, but extremely painful after only a few minutes of working non stop. I'm hopeful I will either find a solution, or maybe come up with one on my own. I even just wrapped a bunch of yarn around one of mine once.. It worked, but I could no longer see the size. After a while I forgot which hook it was and had to unwrap it.. heh Thanks so much for your reviews, they are greatly appreciated.

    I had one of those boye ergonomic ones and used it with the susan bates hooks all the time and LOVED IT. But I don't need a long hook.. it might be the way I hold it.

    I use 2 soft grips. It seems to work a little better for me.

    I have the needle cushions ... they do work but one double ended needles. Also you have to put the dish soap on the needle, not soapy water. If that helps.

    Hi there funny lady, I truly like you, you make me laugh, thank you for that, lol, I haven't read the remarks about the susan bates grips that you reviewed, but I'm here to let you know, I'm 63 years young lol I've been crocheting for 50 years, decades ago I latched on and bought the susan bates hooks, love them, I also bought these susan bates grips it took me a day to figure out how to get the hooks through the grips, go over to your sink, turn on your faucet to warm water put your grip under the warm water saturate the grip totally, put a little tiny bit of dish soap across your hook with the water still running on your grip, insert your hook into your grip, it will go throuh easily, the bigger hooks use the sink and a wash cloth as a platform then push the grip down onto your hook while the water is still running on the grip, worked like a charm for me. Also you can make 2 grips out of one, just cut it right in the middle. The 2 that comes in the package makes 4 grips. I hope this helps, I love these grips, it helps my hand to crochet without pain. Keep up the good work making tutorials, love watching your channel, talk to you again Soon, Peace always

    I use a remoldable plastic (like InstaMorph) for my crochet hooks. That way, they are perfectly molded for my hands - and can be remolded any time. It's even better than polymer clay, because you can correct it.

      Is this a temporary or permanent solution? Can it be easily removed and reused?

      @@KatarinaS. It can be temporary. Remoldable plastic gets soft and kneadable in hot water. But once I have it perfectly molded, why should I remove it?

    I use the boye egg handle with my bates hooks. I just don't put it in the handle as far and it still works. The rubber stopper keeps it in place. 😁
